Jonatan, You missed my point. One pin from the net is vissible. The other net pins are hidden thus reducing symbol bloat. You can have seperate nets for the core voltage, various IO voltages, termination voltages, reference voltages etc. But for each mostly hidden net you expose one pint.

I like partially embeded nets. Large chips, even small ones might have several power pins which are internally connected. Rather then bloat a symbol showing all of these pins, I like to make a embeded or hidden net that includes all these pins and then make one of these pins visible. The netlister

Maybe unreleased but not unavailable. Plus the ideas are always open for use. One idea that I have been rolling around in my brain is to drop the c code for reading and writting the schematic files and replace it with a scripted front end. The idea being that since there are differences between

I agree. It goes with DJ's idea to have bus pins have multiple pin numbers as well. Steve Meier On Fri, 2007-07-13 at 09:58 -0600, John Doty wrote: On Jul 13, 2007, at 9:42 AM, Jonatan Åkerlind wrote: On fre, 2007-07-13 at 09:14 -0600, John Doty wrote: Sorry if I was unclear, actually got
